Wait, is this a trick question? I bet the answer is a combination of all three - the bank needs to provision for their entire loan book, their non-performing assets, and their overall financial position. This is going to keep me up at night!

I'm going with total assets. It's the most comprehensive metric, right? The bank needs to have enough provisions to cover potential losses across their entire balance sheet.

Hmm, I think it's the ratio of provisioning to the total loan portfolio. That makes the most sense to me, since the bank needs to cover all their loans, not just the non-performing ones.

PCR is definitely the ratio of provisioning to gross non-performing assets. I mean, how else would a bank know how much they've set aside to cover loan losses?
